10 FEB 2021; Ajax - PSV; Beker Quarter Final

Bericht door Orange14 » ma feb 08, 2021 1:54 pm

After having the match with Utrecht cancelled because of snow, Ajax meet PSV in the quartefinals of the Beker Cup on Wednesday. This will be the first match without first choice keeper Onana who begins serving a one year ban for taking an illegal drug. PSV did get their weekend match played on Saturday. Long term injured Goetze and Gapko appear not to be available for PSV.

Stekelenburg; Tagliafico, Martinez, Timber, Mazaoui; Blind, Alvarez, Klaassen; Tadic, Haller, Antony look to be the starters. Kudus is healthy on on the substitutes bench along with newcomer Idrissi. biggest surprise is the 3rd choice keeper is Raatsie!

No creativity in MF so hope we see Kudus make a return. Sorry but i hope Brobbey does not come on,he wants away and I would not pick him for Jong let alone the first.

2-0 up after 25 minutes. 2x Haller.

Ajax is literally all over PSV. Great football from our lads.

Really nice first half of football. Two great goals and almost a third right at the half whistle. Defensive positioning is excellent with lots of interceptions as passing lanes are blocked. Steks had very little to do.

Good win.We had a great 1st half with Haller 2 goals ,should have been 3-0 just before Ht. Timber og just one of those things but we did not look in real danger until Klaassen kicked that late chance off the line. My stream was good all game and decided to freeze 50 secs from the end but relief from me when reboot showed 2-1 still 10 secs to go . Really did not want to sit through ET.

Martinez had a good game but Blind was my MOM . Steks had little to do and that was against the 2nd best team in Holland. Alvarez does a good job but 15m no way.

So 7 wins in a row

A great first 55 minutes of football by Ajax followed by a scruffy 40 minutes but it was enough to see PSV off 2-1 and advance to the next round of the Beker. Defensive positioning was excellent for the vast majority of the match. Timber was unfortunate with the own goal but had to make that attempt as it would have been a tap in for Malen had he not done so. Stekelenburg was barely troubled in the match. Offensively there were good passes and Neres really should have done better on the break away. Haller was so open and it was not a difficult pass to see him in on goal.

Player Ratings:

Stekelenburg (6.5) - just had to do a lot of kicking
Tagliafico (7) - had to defend in this match and did a good job; misses the next match with his 2nd YC of the competition
Martinez (7) - solid match
Timber (6.5) - other than the own goal he was really good
Mazraoui (6.5) - had a good first half and I hope it was only a precaution to take him off the pitch
Blind (7.5) - one wont see a better passing match from an Ajax MF this season
Alvarez (7) - had a couple of slips in the second half but made some good interventions
Klaassen (7.5) - great goal clearance in the waning moments of the match to keep Ajax up and had a nice through pass to Haller
Tadic (7) - strong game all around
Haller (7) - paid € to score and score he did with two well taken goals and should have had a third had Neres not been selfish
Antony (7) - good match even though he didn't get on the score board with strong pressing
Rensch (6.5) - good match but a reckless tackle for a YC and misses the next match
Neres (5) - should have picked out Haller but he was generally good with the ball otherwise.

Let's hope for a better draw in the next round.

Agree Timber had a good game apart from OG. Blind should be used in MF a lot more and let Martinez play Cd.Alvarez is indeed playing decent games but Blind would be a superior option at 6.

YES! I've been saying this all season.

Alvarez is stepping up though. So, going to cut him some slack.
